European Shuko GS3 power outlet - Aluminum ring

Absolutely! The Eubiq GS3 outlet is Type F (Schuko), fully compatible with the Type E standard used in France. This means it accepts all standard French and European plugs without the need for an adapter. Whether you are plugging in a lamp, a laptop, a smartphone, or common household appliances, you won't encounter any issues. It operates on 220 to 250 volts and supports up to 16 amps, which covers the vast majority of daily uses.

A 16-amp outlet, like the Eubiq GS3, is the standard in French and European homes. It is suitable for the vast majority of common devices: household appliances, hi-fi, IT equipment, chargers, lighting, etc. A 20A outlet, which is rarer and reserved for specific installations, is sized for high-energy equipment such as certain industrial devices or dedicated circuits (e.g., a built-in oven on a specialized circuit). For standard domestic or professional use, the 16A GS3 is perfectly sufficient and ideally suited.

The GS3's rotary switch is one of its most appreciated features. To power on the outlet, simply turn it a quarter turn clockwise until it clicks: the blue LED will light up, indicating that the outlet is active. To cut the power without unplugging your device, turn it an eighth of a turn counter-clockwise: the LED will turn off and the outlet will no longer be powered. This intuitive system is particularly useful for outlets located high up or in dimly lit areas and allows you to easily cut the power to a device in standby mode.

This is one of the major advantages of the Eubiq system: moving your GS3 outlet is extremely simple and requires no tools or intervention from an electrician. You only need to perform a simple rotation to release the outlet from its position on the rail, then reposition it where you want and lock it in the same way. This allows you to adapt your installation in seconds according to your current needs, whether on a countertop, a desk, or a headboard. Please note, however: the GS3 outlet is exclusively compatible with Eubiq-brand rails and will not work on other systems on the market.

The GS3 outlet has an IP20 protection rating, meaning it is designed for use in dry environments only. It is therefore not suitable for bathrooms or kitchen areas exposed to water splashes or high humidity. On the other hand, it is perfectly at home in a living room, bedroom, office, or on a kitchen countertop away from the sink and moisture sources. If you have any doubts about the compliance of your installation, do not hesitate to consult a qualified electrician.

Yes, and that is precisely what makes the Eubiq system so flexible! You can absolutely combine the GS3 outlet with other compatible modules on the same rail, including FR3-L (Type E) outlets. Since Type E and F male and female plugs are compatible within the Eubiq ecosystem, you can freely compose your installation according to your needs. Whether you want to increase the number of connection points or vary the modules available on your rail, the GS3 integrates perfectly with the rest of the range without any incompatibility.

The anodized aluminum ring of the GS3 was chosen precisely for its robustness and longevity. Anodized aluminum is a material known for its resistance to scratches, corrosion, and daily wear, while maintaining its premium appearance over time. Combined with the titanium-finish housing, it gives the GS3 outlet a high-end look that stands up to time and repeated handling. It is a particularly relevant choice for installations in hotels, restaurants, or designer interiors where aesthetics are just as important as performance.
